Abstract
This paper sheds the light on the outcomes of the LMD system in Algeria where special emphasis will be put on the problematic issue of international mobility of students favoured by LMD programs. In fact, since the introduction of the three-cycle degree system in 2004, one can notice a re-conceptualization of the Algerian educational system outcomes in the eyes of most students who are interested in international mobility.
After the implementation of the LMD system, most Algerian universities have been awarding LMD diploma to their students. However, in this new context, the challenge for higher education is to do more than satisfy the Algerian labour market, rather to go further by offering a dimension focused on satisfying Algerian students' needs for international mobility and also welcoming qualified foreign labour by recognizing their diplomas.
In this concern, our research will hopefully try to focus on highlighting policy planners and makers' objectives behind operating within such system and see to what extent international mobility and diplomas' recognition is beneficial for the Algerian context nationally and internationally.
